Horizon & calculation settings ⌄
Negative elevation means below sea level, not underground. Eye height models an open horizon; underground depth cannot be its symmetric negative. Halachic presets keep their labeled standard baseline regardless of personal visibility. Height & underground ↗
Horizon, pressure and temperature are fixed model inputs, not automatically measured. One obstruction angle applies in every direction. Select “Custom angles” to use your dawn/nightfall angles.
